Bearing Drift is pleased to announce that we will be attending both the Democratic and Republican Party of Virginia’s statewide conventions.
As the Democratic Convention approaches, we’ll have more details.
Regarding the Republican Convention this Friday and Saturday, beginning Friday our own Jane Dudley will be attending the RPV Gala and taking photographs of the event. Maybe we can get some good shots of Jim Gilmore putting creme pie into Bob Marshall’s face. In the words of Sen. Bluto Blutarsky, “FOOD FIGHT!” (If anybody has extra tickets and wants to take a plebeian waif like me, I’m available.)
Also that evening, myself, Jane, Chris, Shaun, and perhaps other members of the Bearing Drift crew will join the Jeffersoniad in room B19 of the Richmond Convention Center at the Jeffersoniad’s hospitality suite, sponsored by Speaker of the House William Howell and Rhumb Line (ed. note…BD LOVES this PR firm’s name – “a straight line to navigate by, baby!”). Please come and stop by the suite and enjoy some dessert and coffee/tea on the Speaker (you may or may not see double-meaning in this phrase). Also, you can see our three-headed blog monster that we keep in the corner. It’ll be quite a spectacle. We’ll be open from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
The next day, several of us will be part of “bloggers row” at the convention. We’ll be live-blogging and providing podcasts and interviews as the events of the big day unfold.
Finally, BD will be having a staff meeting that weekend. Expect change from this blog. Yes we can!

Will Ron Paul be there?
1 a.m. is way past my bed-time, but I plan to be there early on.
I will be traveling there tomorrow, as I landed on the Resolutions Committee, and work session is 4:00pm Thurs. The emails from the Pro Gun Resolution supporters have been many…..
Also, am attending the Commonwealth Gala….Jane I would like to meet you!
I will bet the Jeffersoniad Hospitality Suite will be the best one at the convention, so I will be there hubby in tow putting up with my weekend of politics.

It is possible that Ron Paul could be there at the Republican Convention. I do believe that is what you were referring to… right, Brian? I mean, I don’t think that you, the super Republican would bash another Republican and violate Reagan’s 11th commandment, right?
Stephen, I asked if he would be there. Where the hell are you getting everything else?
As far as Reagan’s 11th commandment, I’d ask you to judge how well Reagan followed it in 1976.
Lighten up, man. It was more in jest than anything… Unless I struck a nerve
See you at Bloggers Row! It will be good to meet some of my fellow Jeffersoniad bloggers.
